Universal Studio’s, a unit of Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:CMCSA) search for a Fast & Furious 8 director is narrowed to 3, none named Vin Diesel.

Recently, F&F Star Vin Diesel took to his Facebook page and intimated he should direct the latest installment of the billion-dollar franchise after efforts to convince Furious 7 director James Wan to return for # 8 proved unsuccessful.

Universal has its eyes on the following directors, according to industry sources:

1. F. Gary Gray, the man behind its surprise commercial and critical hit Straight Outta Compton, who also has Diesel experience, having directed the actor in the Y 2003 action-thriller A Man Apart.
2. Louis Leterrier, the experienced action man who counts The Incredible Hulk, The Transporter and Now You See Me in his credits.
3. Adam Wingard, the filmmaker behind cult genre hits including The Guest and who, like Mr. Wan, has a background in horror with movies such as You’re Next and segments of anthology movies The ABCs of Death and V/H/S 2.

Sources say that the Director prospects are set to meet with Mr. Diesel, who has a big voice in who directs the films, and Universal this week.

Have some fun, see a movie this week.
